Mid−log phase cells (5 ml) were harvested, and cell pellets were stored at −80°C. For analysis of protein levels, pellets were thawed on ice and resuspended in 300 µl 2× SDS sample buffer along with 100 µl of glass beads. After being vortexed for 5 min at full speed, samples were heated to 100°C for 5 min, then loaded onto gels for Western blot analysis. Proteins were detected using (1:1000) anti-GFP antibody (Cell Signaling Technology); histone H4 was the reference (1:10000) (Abcam).

Protein extraction and western blotting were performed as described previously28 (link). Briefly, cells were lysed on ice for 30 min in radio-immunoprecipitation assay buffer. The lysates were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4°C for 15 min, the supernatants were collected, and protein concentrations were determined using bicinchoninic acid assay TIANGEN, Beijing, China). Equal amounts of protein were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE followed by electrotransfer onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA). Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat milk for 2 h and then incubated overnight at 4°C with diluted (1:1000) primary antibodies against MMP2, MMP9, ZEB1, Snail, Slug, Twist and β-actin were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (MA, USA), and ACOT12, N-Cadherin, E-Cadherin, histone H3, histone H3ac, histone H4 and histone H4ac obtained from Abcam followed by incubation with the secondary antibody (1:5000, Cell Signaling Technology). An electrochemiluminescence detection system (GE, USA) was used for signal detection.

Adherent fibroblasts were washed with ice-cold PBS then lysed using Phosphosafe extraction reagent (Merck Millipore) supplemented with protease inhibitor (Merck Millipore). Equal protein quantities of lysate were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and protein levels assessed by Western blotting with the following antibodies: P70S6K (CST #9202), Phospho-p70S6KThr389 (CST #9234), 4E-BP1 (CST #9644), Phospho-4E-BP1Ser65 (CST#9451), SMAD3 (CST #9523), Rictor (CST #2114), Raptor (CST#2280), GLUT1 (Abcam #EPR3915), PHGDH (CST #13428), PSAT (ThermoFisher #PA522124), PSPH (Insight Bio. #GTX109163-S), SHMT2 (CST #12762), ATF4 (CST #11815), α-tubulin (CST #9099), Histone H4 (Abcam #16483), Phospho-eIF2α(Ser51) (CST #3597) and eIF2α (#9722). The dilutions of primary and secondary antibodies were according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Tunicamycin (2µg/ml MP biomedicals) was used as a positive control for immunostaining of p-eIF2α. Protein band intensity was measured by densitometry in ImageQuant TL v8.1 (GE Healthcare) following electrochemiluminescence. All densitometries are presented relative to α-tubulin unless otherwise stated.

The in vitro assay for acetyltransferase activity of His-HAT1 was performed with or without aptamers. His-HAT1 (100 ng or 2.5 pmol) was incubated either with the structured aptamers in the selection buffer or only with the selection buffer for 30 min at 37 °C. Next, 10 µL of Ni-NTA Superflow was added and incubated for 1 h at 4 °C. After three washes with the selection buffer, 27 µL of reaction buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6 and 250 ng of histone H4 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK)) was added and incubated for 1 min at 37 °C. Reaction began with the addition of 3 µL AcCoA 10 mM (Roche, Madrid, Spain) in 30 µL of final volume. Finally, 15 µL of denaturing buffer (Tris-HCl 180 mM pH 6.8, SDS 9%, β-mercaptoethanol 6%, glycerol 15%, and bromophenol blue 0.025%) was added to stop the enzymatic reaction after 2 h of incubation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
